Yup, Ruger used to make one, I think called a Speed Six. You have to use half-moon clips to hold the cartridges. I always thought that was squirrely but apparently it was popular at one time.
I’d like to open-carry but the laws in Texas are very specific, if it ain’t concealed it ain’t legal.

I know as silly as it sounds, but yes. It was all that I could afford at the time. I also perfer revolvers, they don’t fail nearly as much as a semiauto, and I really like the way they look and feel in my hands.

The Smith 547 had an unusual extractor in that half moons were not needed. The extractor expanded to catch the rebated rim of the 9mm case. K-frame, roundbutt, 2 inch, and concealable.
The Ruger in the Speed-Six and SP101 are nice carry guns if you can find one.

I have a .357 Ruger Blackhawk with a convertible 9mm cylinder. It does not use the half moon clips.

They do exist. Ruger made a 9mm SP101. Taurus and S&W have both had 9mm snubs.
I'd rather have a .40 SP101.

Back in the 1980’s Ruger did make some double action revolvers in 9mm. They did not use half moon clips but used a round wire on the extractor.
